Summary/Abstract: Nuska from the Białystok Museum of History has never been researched. This article is the first exploration of one of the prime examples of the Tatar literature, dating back to the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and blooming Tatar settlements. That literature especially flourished during the Renaissance and Reformation. Today Tatars ascribe to it tremendous cultural and spiritual value. The author performs a philological analysis of the text, taking into account transcription, content identification and translation into Polish.
